The House of Commons has passed a Liberal backbencher’s motion calling on federal politicians to condemn Islamophobia by sa margin of 201 to 91 Thursday. .The motion, known as M-103, became a matter of acrimonious debate, with opponents painting it as a slippery slope towards limiting freedom of speech and even bringing in Sharia law. The was decided largely on party lines but it split Conservative leadership candidates. Michael Chong voted in favour, while rivals Andrew Scheer, Steven Blaney, Brad Trost, Kellie Leitch, Erin O’Toole and Maxime Bernier voted against.
